Previously a bus that took riders between West Seattle and downtown, King County Metro route 22 is now a kind of a shuttle around the West Seattle, connecting various neighborhoods on that little peninsula—including areas that are less well-served by transit otherwise, running about once an hour between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. on weekdays (and a little less often on weekends).

We found six notable homes along the route.
